But what’s the dill with this new sport and where do you play? (Yeah, we said dill!) Once you’ve officially decided to join the craze and pick up the sport of pickleball, the first step is to find the right gear!
Check out our Starter Sets that will get you set up with everything you need to take to the court.
Now that your pickleball bag is full, you need to find a spot to play! Finding a pickleball court may be more difficult than you originally thought, depending on your location. Don’t worry though - we’re here to help!
Everyone is brought to the court their first time a little differently. Because pickleball casts such a wide net, introductions to pickleball are different for everyone. As long as you are getting on a pickleball court though, that’s all that matters. If you aren’t one of the lucky ones, with ample court options in your neck of the woods, it can be tough to find places to play and players to enjoy the great game with. At JustPaddles, we hold true to our word, and we’re with you from Click to COURT. Now that you’ve done the clicking, let’s get you out on the court!
Below you can find a couple of different resources that can help you find a place to play, wherever you may be located.
